    Cant get into forums

    I have 0.02 Mbps per second of download speed. Every 20 minutes into download, I get an error message that says "cannot download patch files". I have to start over and start over at the beginning of downloading the patch. I have cable one high speed internet, 150Mbps, and a very high end wifi adapter. However, download speed is still 0.02 Mbps.

    I tried to use the fourms today for the first time to ask the people how to fix this, but, as always, SE disallows me to sign up. Before, it was because I had no service account. Now, it's because the damn character, even when selected, won't register into the system when I click save.

    I would post an attachment, but the forums state that I cannot post an attachments or images. You'll have to take my word on it.

    By the way, I have no way to get a vpn. Just to let you know...

    maybe?

    oh wait you can't access their forum ahahah.

    "
    http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...06/blog/77559/
    UDP
    55296-55551
    TCP
    80, 8080, 443, 55296-55551

    To clarify, this is what SE says, but this isn't what's being used.


    The launcher needs to reach 124.150.157.126 and 124.150.157.117 (port 443 SSL)
    The login/lobby needs to reach 124.150.157.158:54994 and the game uses port 54680 and 54681 while doing this
    When you click on your server (Excalibur 199.91.189.42:55006) it opens two connections to it, using ports 54906 and 54907 on your system.

    What you're supposed to do is let UPnP work, or use "trigger" ports , when the game connects to a specific IP or port number, the software firewall in the router is supposed to let connections 54994-55006 pass through.

    What causes peoples routers to crash is that the outbound ports are being blocked, or the inbound traffic is being overwhelmed and doesn't know where to send it. Honestly if you have a poor quality router (some brands may use the same brand for their cheap vxWorks devices and their slightly more expensive, much more hackable Linux based ones) this doesn't surprise me. The firmware may come with stock settings that recognize things like WoW and Everquest, but never anything new. "

    tl;dr maybe try port forwarding. Although then someone else says this is very bad advice so idk.

    I'm not quite sure how to use port forwarding.

    By the way, the second link you provided, is not a valid link

    it's from the post, not mine. I didn't check it, because the info from it is in the post.
    if you're not sure how to use port forwarding, google exists.
